...2011 from Boston College with a B.S. in Environmental Geosciences while minoring in Environmental Studies. After graduation, I moved around a bit until finally deciding on Denver, CO as the place for me. I am currently studying for the LSAT and looking toward a future career in law. I gained experience tutoring elementary aged students at a private learning center, where I taught elementary Reading, Phonics and Math. As a member of the National Honor...

...the Pacific Coast, to Montreal, Spain, Italy, and Germany. While I tutor many subjects, I am most passionate about Math, German, and standardized test prep. I believe we learn the best (and the most) when we can have fun, and I look for ways to engage students with material - especially Math - in fun and silly ways. When I'm not working, I spend my time dancing, reading, meditating, and looking for inexpensive opportunities to...

...schools and middle schools. I took AP U.S. History in high school and received a 5 on the exam. Accordingly, I’ve always been interested in history, social studies and government. I tutor essay prep, public speaking and study skills. I’m a person who is legally blind—as a result—I’ve had to utilize different learning styles throughout my education. I’m enthusiastic about helping other people who use different learning styles develop their study skills and academic prowess....

...school. I enjoy tutoring because it's a great chance to work with individual students and help them with the specific skills they need to improve. I listen to my students, help them set realistic goals, and then push them. I find tutoring to be a lot of fun, and you too should have fun as we work as a team to improve your skills and increase your confidence. I am on your side, and it...

I am a lifelong learner, having earned 69 semester hours of credit as a working adult. I have a varied background, which includes a career as an attorney and a judge, teaching from middle school to the college level and teaching/living in China for three years. I have the ability to work with individuals from all walks of life and help them achieve academic success.
... The curriculum must be taught in a way that presents real-world connections for the students, while taking into consideration their individual needs. It must be interesting, challenging, and understandable, so that the students have the opportunity to take responsibility for their own learning and so that they can achieve academic and professional success.

Additionally, I have successfully tutored for the LSAT and mathematics up through Calculus II. Outside of academia I enjoy football, rugby, basketball, and hiking.

...a long research project? I've been there. Struggling with some obscure economics problem? I've been there too. I've been through all these educational trials, and I have succeeded at mastering them. Varsity Tutors gives me the opportunity to pass along the work ethic and drive you need to do the same. If you want to master something new, or learn a plan of attack for the LSAT, I'd love to hear from you.... Nothing is ever as complicated as it seems. This is especially true in school. New concepts are daunting, but they don't have to be. A level head, and the patience to parse through complicated material one step at a time, makes even the most confusing problems simple. I don't want to help you with number four on the problem set, I want to help you learn how to take a problem one step at a time. This way, you can solve any problem, not just the ones you've solved before.

I enjoy helping others. I am especially good at adjusting my lesson speed based on the student's level. I believe that learning should be FUN! Let's have a good time while learning together!... I feel that teachers need to be highly perceptive of the student's reactions while teaching. This means checking for understanding and never getting ahead of the student. An effective lesson is one that is geared toward each specific student in terms of their study goals, while also incorporating their hobbies and interests into the lesson. In such a sense, teaching methods need to be adjusted on-the-fly depending on the student. Another very important (and often overlooked) aspect of teaching is that it should be FUN for the student. I believe that people retain the most information when they are having fun. If someone can associate "fun" with learning, they will want to learn more and study harder!
